Bayer Leverkusen vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (22 September)

Author of a historic last season, Bayer Leverkusen won the first German championship title in its history by affording the luxury of remaining undefeated throughout the 2023-2024 Bundesliga. A feat that he will not be able to reproduce this year after having already suffered a first defeat, on the 2nd day, against RB Leipzig 2-3. Before that, Xabi Alonso's men had won their first match against Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-3 and they showed a more reassuring face last weekend against Hoffenheim 1-4. This week, the Usine 11 begins its Champions League campaign by traveling to the Feyenoord field. Opposite, Wolfsburg must recover after a particularly disappointing final exercise during which this team was even almost concerned by maintaining .

Ultimately, VfL finished in 12th position with a fairly small lead of only 4 points over the play-off. This year, Ralph Hasenhüttl's men don't really seem set to do much better with already 2 defeats conceded in 3 matches. Beaten from the start by Bayern Munich 2-3, the Wolves were able to recover against Holstein Kiel 0-2 before losing again last weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2.

Xabi Alonso should be lucky enough to be able to count on a full group to prepare for this meeting. We could therefore see at the kick-off the excellent full-backs Frimpong (1 goal, 1 assist) and Grimaldo (1 goal), the midfielders Xhaka (1 goal, 1 assist) and Andrich, as well as the nugget Wirtz (3 goals, 1 assist) and center forward Boniface (2 goals, 1 assist). Recruited this summer from Stade Rennais, French striker Martin Terrier scored his first goal with Bayer last week. For its part, Wolfsburg will be reduced to prepare for this meeting.

Indeed, the talented but very fragile Lukas Nmecha, the defender Rogerio, the Dane Maehle, the striker Bialek, the American Paredes and the Croatian playmaker Lovro Majer (2 goals this season) are all currently stuck in the infirmary . Among the valid players, defender Bornauw, midfielder Baku and striker Arnold (1 goal, 1 assist) are the only ones to have already opened their account.
